Hello,

I have many videos in .flv and .mp4 formats. I store then in one Windows folder and re-name after downloading so that it becomes easy to find one that I want to play.

It would be best if I can create thumbnail from one of the frames of video file.

Is there a program/utility in which I can open the .flv or .mp4 file, play, pause and take the screen/frame and set it as thumbnail of that file?

I did my best to find it on internet but failed hence thought to reach out to Gurus.

Thanks in advance, Jay

A: 

I think ffmpeg and mencoder can do this

Thanks Jurassic_CWhen played FLV in SMplayer , it shows "Player has crashed. See the log for more info".Downloaded ffmpg, but cannot figure out how to use.I am okay to buy any shareware tool that can do the job. Any suggestions please?
